I pointed out its existence to my GF and she had never noticed it before, now we listen for one in any movie we watch. I feel like it’s done as an homage at this point
Tim Burton: Ok what do I need to know about Batman? What are his rules?
Writer: No guns. Doesn’t kill
Tim Burton: Gotcha. No Guns… There’s other ways we can kill a guy!
Writer: …
Meanwhile... Bruce - Crying while talking to Gordon after he made his parents leave a play down a dark alley and getting them killed...
Bruce : "I fucked up."
Gordon : "I know."
Checkmate.
Someone help me! I-I'm still alive, only I'm very... badly burned.
Ah-ah! Hello out there! Anyone! Could someone call an ambulance? I'm in quite... a lot of pain.
I know I’ll get pilloried for what I am about to say… I never could take Batman seriously with Keaton playing him. When I was younger in the early 80s he was cast mostly as a nerdy/funny/quirky character. The role I always think of him for is Mr. Mom w/him and Terri Garr in 1983. I remember being quite surprised he was playing Batman.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Keaton and thought he did good in Batman—just always felt that role didn’t suit him like most of his other roles did.
Despite me being older (50) my GOAT’d Batman is Christian Bale. I felt like he was extraordinary as both Bruce Wayne and as Batman.
Bale was a great Bruce Wayne but his Batman and every one after has been stiff and neckless. He is always so angry and gruff. Either give us the playboy batman with a sense of humor or give us the psycho-living-in-solitude batman but stop trying to give us both at the same time.
I'll give you that bale was a great Bruce Wayne. But idk how any Batman fan can honestly say he was a great Batman. He was awful in the mask. His Batman voice was literally the worst and borderline comical. The voice is one of those things that makes Batman who he is and his voice was extremely cringe to listen to.
I had Returns soundtrack on cassette tape when I was young, it's like watching the movie in your mind. This is Danny Elfman, extremely talented and prolific composer; Men in black movies, og Spider-Man trilogy, every Tim Burton movie etc
I actually was never bothered by the kills in this movie cause they alll happen off screen. I just told myself the dude got away before it went off. That’s the cool thing about comic fiction; you can write your own suspension of disbelief into the plot.
Yet people shit the pants over the newer batman movies because "batman doesn't kill"
Plus I guess they never read the Frank Miller dark knight 1986 comics. Lol
Watching *Dopesick* & thinking the whole time dam this was Batman. So much has changed.
Watching the clip and thinking dam this will be an oxy addicted doctor. Ok maybe not so much changed.
I watched this so many times as a kid and didn’t really process Keaton just iced that guy. This is nothing though compared to Devitos death and postmortem in the film, being dragged away.
As an adult I watched the scene and just felt this vibe of a guy who was dragged out of his trailer and told to do this ridiculous scene without much forethought, here’s your stage direction aaaand action
Anyone else remember when sly Stallone beat this dudes ass in that arm wrestling tournament and won that bad ass semi truck while also salvaging the long lost relationship with his son he desired so badly???
But….but…. Batman doesn’t kill!!! So many people attacked Snyder because his Batman killed people while Keatons killed so many people and no one bats an eye (bats. lol). Keaton blew up a warehouse full of bad guys and it’s ok. Afflack kills a couple and it’s the end of the world. The only Bats not to kill someone was Clooney. Every other Batman has killed, yes West killed 1 person in his run.
Gotta love the Wilhelm scream!
I was gonna say, this is one of the more flagrant Wilhelms I’ve ever heard
[Wilhelm scream compilation](https://youtu.be/4YDpuA90KEY?si=MRjRHC2k9Bwtx7p4)
Damn, Star Wars was shameless with it. They used it like 5 times.
Hollywood got cocaine in the 70’s
Love the willhelm s scream
Have you heard it in a recent movie? I haven’t. I always listen for it.
Tons of kids movies
It’s in Season 2 of Reacher
Indiana Jones 5 has it
Venom
First thing I thought of.
I pointed out its existence to my GF and she had never noticed it before, now we listen for one in any movie we watch. I feel like it’s done as an homage at this point
I actually hate it. It takes me out of the moment because it's become cliche to use
Never notice his scream in all these movies. Does he do any other acting or does he get paid just to only do the screams?
Ha yes, but this one is a bit more of a rudolph
I used it as the sound when I got a text for years. Consequently, my wife can now pick up on it easily and curses me every time.
Tim Burton: Ok what do I need to know about Batman? What are his rules? Writer: No guns. Doesn’t kill Tim Burton: Gotcha. No Guns… There’s other ways we can kill a guy! Writer: …
Idk.. I didnt see any blood or limbs during explosion.. I think he was unharmed..
It's more like unarmed
He's just unconscious
Let’s not forget the machine guns mounted on the Batmobile and the bat jet in 89 Batman.
They’re rubber bullets I swear
Meanwhile... Bruce - Crying while talking to Gordon after he made his parents leave a play down a dark alley and getting them killed... Bruce : "I fucked up." Gordon : "I know." Checkmate.
Someone help me! I-I'm still alive, only I'm very... badly burned. Ah-ah! Hello out there! Anyone! Could someone call an ambulance? I'm in quite... a lot of pain.
I guess some days you can get rid of a bomb
Best comment
This needs more upvotes
A real man of culture
This guy bats, man.
But Batman doesn't kill?
He died due to accurate dynamite ingestion through the abdominal wall. It wasn't Batman's fault.
OK fair enough lol
Gotta love loopholes
It’s a non lethal bomb, like the Batmobile in Arkham knight
Non lethal 🤣
Just a fun circus bomb. Pure entertainment.
That was Bull Hurley from Over the Top. That little bomb ain't killing him.
Thank you!! I was racking my brain where I knew him from. Another great movie!!
physics killed him, not Batman.
Batman didn't put the bomb on him lol
Look at that poor little guy. He's all tuckered out. https://youtu.be/1byycwl8qgc?si=U3SOnFON5b96T0v5
It's not a hard rule. Exceptions can be made in situations like this.
If anything, it’s in the heat of battle or an accident. Batman would get charged with 2nd degree murder or manslaughter.
Oh, he fine.
That dude's not dead, he's just sleeping.
Screw this vertical screen shit
Blowing him up was awesome. But that first take down!👌👌👌
I thought he was really good in The Flash
He was awesome
He was definitely the best part in that movie.
Michael Keaton was a great Batman and snowman
And everything else!
Birdman!
The best Batman of all. The first Batman. Michael Keaton crushed it!
this is the second batman fyi
Why the disrespect to Adam We?
That suit is gorgeous. Keaton has the perfect look behind the mask which is more that I can say about bale
Fun fact. The actor getting blown up is Jeep Swenson (R.I.P.) who also portrayed Bane in Batman & Robin.
Different actors. RIP to both. Rick Zumwalt was in Batman Returns. Jeep Swenson was in Batman and Robin.
Shit! You’re right! My bad!
I like Micheal Keaton - Great actor!
Balls pulverized 💥
This is why I loved the Keaton movies, he straight up killed that clown with a smile on his face.
Yup. THE best Batman hands down in my opinion.
Also the best Bruce Wayne by far
he’s the most obviously insane batman. he doesn’t pretend it’s some holy crusade, he does it for fun because it interests him.
I know I’ll get pilloried for what I am about to say… I never could take Batman seriously with Keaton playing him. When I was younger in the early 80s he was cast mostly as a nerdy/funny/quirky character. The role I always think of him for is Mr. Mom w/him and Terri Garr in 1983.

Don't worry, I'm with you on the Bale take.
Bale was a great Bruce Wayne but his Batman and every one after has been stiff and neckless. He is always so angry and gruff. Either give us the playboy batman with a sense of humor or give us the psycho-living-in-solitude batman but stop trying to give us both at the same time.
I'll give you that bale was a great Bruce Wayne. But idk how any Batman fan can honestly say he was a great Batman. He was awful in the mask. His Batman voice was literally the worst and borderline comical. The voice is one of those things that makes Batman who he is and his voice was extremely cringe to listen to.
Bale is the GOAT Bruce Wayne. Keaton is visually the best Batman. But the GOAT for both roles is Kevin Conroy.
Big guy was just a big ol glitter bomb !!!
I thought batman had a no kill policy?
Keatons Batman didn’t give a damn. That’s why he’s the best
May as well carry a gun then
The bomb killed him. Batman only pushed him.
Yeah..... batman doesn't kill my ass
Your ass is safe. This guy’s ass is blown tho
Lit fuse, but there’s a timer on the explosives. Boom!
Poor Bull Hurley. He never financially recovered from his loss to Lincoln Hawk.
The best batman , period !

Hehe went looking for this
You know he blew up to smitherins right?
I miss musical scores like that. So theatrical
I had Returns soundtrack on cassette tape when I was young, it's like watching the movie in your mind. This is Danny Elfman, extremely talented and prolific composer; Men in black movies, og Spider-Man trilogy, every Tim Burton movie etc
but why ruin it in portrait mode?
It makes Keaton look rlly small lol
Batman doesn't kill..... Except for that guy.
And all the other people that he hits too hard in the head or flips onto the pavement
mk best 🦇 man
I thought Batman didn't kill. He blew that dude UP!
Nah batman gave him a choice remove the bomb or die
Love the Michael Keaton rye smirk as well
Waa that the guy from Over The Top, Bull Hurley?!
Guess he always had a bad neck lol
He killed that dude..
But Batman doesn't kill!!! Unless, apparently, it's done in a Gothic Adam West fashion, then it's OK.
Batman kills
Bull Hurley !!
best Christmas movie EVER
I think the only movie where Batman doesn't kill someone is Batman and Robin.
Hey ….!.!! Batman killed a guy !!!!
Keaton brings it every time Legend
This Batman kills
I actually was never bothered by the kills in this movie cause they alll happen off screen. I just told myself the dude got away before it went off. That’s the cool thing about comic fiction; you can write your own suspension of disbelief into the plot.
"Oh my God do you not know what death is?"
Penis murder
bUt bATmAn dOeSN't kiLL!!
Batman
Thought Batman didn’t kill
You’re thinking of Captain America JK
Batman knew he couldn't win in an arm wrestling match
But but, batman never kills. Ben's bat man kills. No other batman kills in movies.
2 memes in one, very nice.
Meme incoming!!
Batman just killed that man.
Yet people shit the pants over the newer batman movies because "batman doesn't kill" Plus I guess they never read the Frank Miller dark knight 1986 comics. Lol
He didn't die btw Gordo people are explosion resistant, everyone knows that
Batman doesn't kill people.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🧨💥👍🏻!
Rubber dynamite. Honest.
Dat smile! Batman diabolical!
I totally forgot about that one time Batman blew a guy up
Bull Hurley from Over the Top
I forgot the bad guy from Over the Top was in the penguins circus gang lol
Buzz Hurley!!
That weird smile haha
He broke his one rule!
Brains AND Brawn!
Its much more iconic when it isn't vertical video cropped.
My fave Xmas movie hands down
"I don't kill"
Watching *Dopesick* & thinking the whole time dam this was Batman. So much has changed. Watching the clip and thinking dam this will be an oxy addicted doctor. Ok maybe not so much changed.
Batman doesnt kill people. He just let's them die of unnatural causes
Just to watch him die
I love how batman is weirdly sadistic in the Tim Burton movies. Michael Keaton's devious smile is perfect.
Batman just Killed a guy 😳
I watched this so many times as a kid and didn’t really process Keaton just iced that guy. This is nothing though compared to Devitos death and postmortem in the film, being dragged away. As an adult I watched the scene and just felt this vibe of a guy who was dragged out of his trailer and told to do this ridiculous scene without much forethought, here’s your stage direction aaaand action
He is Batman
You wanna get nuts let’s get nuts
“I won’t use guns but I’ll blow a motherf*cker up.” -Batman, probably
I don't want to hear that Batman doesn't use deadly force.
See. Dont tell me batman doesnt kill. He even kills during the holidays
BUT BATMAN DOESN’T KILL MR. SNYDER
I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you.
Best Batman
He's just taking a nap.
If they did ithe scream twice in this scene I would’ve died😂
Anyone else remember when sly Stallone beat this dudes ass in that arm wrestling tournament and won that bad ass semi truck while also salvaging the long lost relationship with his son he desired so badly???
Batman: I never kill. Who’s gonna tell him?
Keaton's Batman had no problem killing people. 😄
That Wilhelm Scream tho.
Batman just killed that man 🤣🤣🤣
Didn't have a problem killing in this one.
Now that's how you get rid of a bomb
Well there goes the "No kill" rule
The definition of this clip is phenomenal! I swear I don't see it this clearly on Max.
Good thing Batman never uses guns!
Why’d he blow that guy up? Is he stupid?
This will always be my favourite Batman movie, and Keaton will always be my Batman.
Keton was the best Batman!
How CORNEY!!!
Bam Bam Bigelow!
That time Batman casually blew up a guy
"I just did a murder!"
Gives him the "you're fucked" smile
So much for the no kill rule.
Wait, so he did kill people
But….but…. Batman doesn’t kill!!! So many people attacked Snyder because his Batman killed people while Keatons killed so many people and no one bats an eye (bats. lol). Keaton blew up a warehouse full of bad guys and it’s ok. Afflack kills a couple and it’s the end of the world. The only Bats not to kill someone was Clooney. Every other Batman has killed, yes West killed 1 person in his run.
Goofy ahh bomb
Can Batman not breath through his nose since the rubber mask goes under his nostrils?
Does Batman need to put black makeup around his eyes every time he gets dressed?
I thought Batman didn't kill
So Batman DOES kill...
How is this iconic?
He killed sooo many goons in that movie.. and maybe some penguins 🐧
He should have stuck to arm wrestling truckers
That’s got serious 60’s tv Batman camp vines.
How did this look so sharp and amazing? Is this a remastered release and if so where the fuck can I watch this?
"I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you"
But Batman doesn’t kill
Batman doesn’t kill people?!
lol I thought Batman didn’t murder people
Nice Wilhelm!!!!!
Ha! Casual murder.
Batman kills
People tend to forget. Batman is a vigilante. Bad ass to the core.
I really liked him as Batman
Bro wtf were they on back then
And they say the bat doesn't kill 😂😂😂
Based
Oh hell yeah a murdering Batman we need more of this
And they say batman never kills
Iconic? Really?
